    Would your character rather endure watching their best friend die in order to save the world or have to sacrifice half the population in order to save their best friend? 

    Judah and Lauren would both choose to watch their best friends die, even though it would, of course, be agonizing.

    Dante would sacrifice half of the population.

  • @obrian-of-the-surface-world

    Hi, Brian. Nice to meet you! (Also, I love Monk). 🙂

    If you could erase something from existence by casting it out of time, what would it be, and would you rather have its ripple effect be permanent and live with the consequences where no one knew you were responsible ~OR~ would you rather it be temporary, so that…[Read more]

  • Would you rather be faceless or shapeless?

    Judah: Faceless. I like the idea of no one looking at my face.

    New Question: would you rather wear the same outfit everyday (it’s clean, it’s just that all your outfits are the same) or wear a different outfit every day for the rest of your life?

     

  • @rose-colored-fancy

    LOL. Great question! A would be Lauren and B would be Kaz. 🙂

    New Question: Which character would be most likely to become a bounty hunter?

  • Which of your characters would be/ is the most immature? 

    Hmm…I’d say that Dante generally seems like the most immature, even though a lot of it is him pretending to be somebody that he really isn’t.

    Which of your characters is the most selfless?

    Probably Judah.

  • Who would be most likely to write a poem about the most random thing?

    Maybe Lauren, because she has a spontaneity to her. But I can see Travis being a poet too.

    Who’s most likely to do stuff purely for attention?

    Dante. Yep.

    New Question: Who’s most likely to procrastinate on a huge project?

  • Who would be the most likely to get a tattoo?

    Lauren. She actually already has one. Of the characters who don’t have tattoos, maybe Judah or Jordan.

    Who would break a vase on accident?

    Probably Kaz.

    Who would prefer a dark, rainy, bleh day over a nice sunny one? 

    Travis. It would match his dark, rainy personality.

    New Question: who would be…[Read more]

  • Kaz. He’s protective to a fault.

    Who would be most likely to dance in public?

  • Who would be most likely to stay up til midnight because they can’t put a book down?

    Probably Travis or Jordan.

    Who would be most likely to start something but never finish it?

    I’m thinking Lauren.

    Who would be most likely to dress in a costume when it’s not Halloween or a dress-up party or anything?

     

  • Who would convince someone that a fake fact is true?

    Dante. Definitely.

    Who’s most likely to talk in their sleep?

    Maybe Judah. His mind doesn’t shut off and I imagine most of his sleep is filled with dreams (mostly nightmares).

    Who would be most likely to ruin a surprise, accidentally or on purpose?

    I’m thinking Lauren. She gets distracted…[Read more]

  • Who’s most likely to know how to pick a lock?

    Lauren. Definitely. She’s pretty much as escape artist.

    Who would be most likely to always be late?

    Hmm…possibly Judah. I can see him getting waylaid by investigating something that he’s curious about, so, yeah.

    Who’s most likely to become the leader of the place where they live?

  • Who would be most likely to listen to a single song on repeat?

    Judah. He loves music. He’s had a record player since he was, like, ten. Also, he can get kind of obsessive about things so I could definitely see him listening to the same song over and over again.

    Who would devote their free time to volunteering?

    Hmm…maybe Frankie. Or Lauren. I…[Read more]

  • Would you rather live your greatest dream, but be disliked by almost everybody, or give up on your dream and be super popular?

    Judah: I’d rather live the dream.

    Kaz: *mumbling* I knew you would say that. *rubs his forehead as he thinks* I don’t know…I guess, I’d rather live my dream too.

    Dante: I’d rather be a dream-liver too.

    Frankie:…[Read more]

    @kimlikesart

    Your poem felt powerful. Also, tragic, important, and well-written. I especially found the repetition of the word silent to be strong and impactful.

    @kylie-wingfeather

    I like your poem. 🙂 I’ve heard of the Wingfeather Saga, but haven’t read the books yet. Your poem makes me want to read them even more!

  • Great question!

    Judah was the first character I thought of…but I feel like most of my hero type characters would do that: Jordan, Lauren, Frankie, Kaz, etc.

    Who would be most likely to eat dessert for dinner?

  • Maybe Dylan, because he’s an artist. Or Blaze, who’s got that carefree, randomness factor. At least, he can come off that way, even though on the inside he’s got all this pain and love and heroism and that tragic backstory…

    Who’s most likely to suffer from insomnia on a regular basis?

    Maybe Nicki or Judah.

  • I think I’d have to go with Lauren again. 🙂 She’s very creative.

    Who’s the most likely to know how to sew stitches?

    Jordan. She has a lot of medical skills.

     

  • Definitely Lauren! She dyed her hair purple, although I don’t think she’d be opposed to trying out different colors too (e.g. blue, pink).

    Who’s most likely to injure themselves doing something unnecessarily dangerous?

    I think out of my main characters, it would probably be Judah or Dante. Although, Frankie is another possibility.

    @kimlikesart

    Great job on your poem, Kimmi! There was a lot of strong emotion in it. It felt very raw and real and true. Keep up the good work.
